RECOMMENDED ACTION
Renew the contract with SVM, LP for the purchase of prepaid gasoline
cards for a one-year period in the annual amount not to exceed $75,000.
DISCUSSION
The Community Development Agency's Santa Ana W/O/R/K Center manages
several programs including Workforce Investment Act (WIA) , Federal
Empowerment Zone (FEZ) and Special Projects. Participant clients are
offered supportive services such as gasoline vouchers to find and
retain employment. A prepaid gasoline-only card program enables
clients to purchase competitively priced gasoline at their local
neighborhood gas stations, as opposed to a single station designated by
the W/O/R/K Center. The prepaid card program streamlines the current
voucher system by eliminating the time required to process the vendor
invoices.
On December 20, 2004, the City Council awarded a contract to SVM, LP
for a one-year period, with provision for two one-year renewals. The
vendor has performed satisfactorily during the past contract period and
has agreed to renew the contract with a 70% reduction in the
administrative costs. The increased annual amount reflects changes in
fuel prices rather than an increase in usage. Staff recommends
authorizing the first renewal of the contract.
